64 THE SECOND HORSEMAN 64 charges and swings his broadsword. 65 ASH 65 raises his chainsaw. CLINK! He deflects the blow. Ash swings the chainsaw in a roundhouse motion, clipping the Second Horseman as he rides past. 66 TRUCKING SHOT - THE SECOND HORSEMAN 66 is knocked from his horse. 67 LOW TRUCKING SHOT - THE SECOND HORSEMAN 67 bounces along the rocky ground, kicking up dust. 68 A SWORD HANDLE 68 slams against the back of Ash's skull. 69 ASH 69 crumples. He looks up in pain to... 70 ARTHUR 70 above him. The sun over his shoulder. 71 EIGHT MOUNTED WARRIORS 71 gallop up, dismount and surround Ash with swords drawn. ARTHUR Bring the prisoner! The warriors surge upon Ash. His sawed-off shotgun and chainsaw are taken from him. ASH No! 72 GOLD TOOTH AND OTHER WARRIORS 72 secure Ash to a set of iron shackles that painfully extend his arms. A collar forces his neck upward. ARTHUR To the castle! 73 WARRIOR #2 ON HORSEBACK 73 prods Ash along with a rod attached to his spiked iron collar. The Warriors gallop off, forcing Ash and the other prisoners to run alongside them. 74 WISEMAN JOHN 74 Picks up the chainsaw and sawed off shotgun from the dust. He is troubled by the strange objects. Sunlight glints off the blade of the chainsaw, blinding the CAMERA. DISSOLVE TO: 75 THE HOT ORB OF THE SUN 75 blazing in the sky above the wasteland. DISSOLVE TO: 76 EXT. PARCHED LAND - DAY - A WEARY ASH 76 bound in his iron shackles, whipped by Gold Tooth, who rides alongside him. GOLD TOOTH Move along now! DISSOLVE TO: 77 LONGSHOT - A WIND SWEPT LANDSCAPE OF CRAGGY ROCK 77 CAMERA PANS along the line of Arthur and his horsemen, to find a 12TH CENTURY BATTLE CASTLE built on the edge of a great cliff. A drawbridge is lowered. Arthur's warriors ride over it. 78 CAMERA TRACKING WITH ASH 78 shackled alongside other prisoners, is prodded inside the castle

walls. 79 INT. CASTLE COURTYARD 79 SHEILA a striking, blonde haired maiden, rushes into frame. She searches the faces of Arthur's warriors and grows concerned. She pushes through a crowd of villagers and calls up to Arthur atop his horse. SHEILA M'Lord Arthur! Where is my brother? Did he not ride with you? ARTHUR Eye. And fought valiantly. But last night fell in battle to Duke Henry's men. SHEILA Her face does not immediately register the grief. She attempts to step forward but stumbles. She steadies herself against the stone wall. Her eyes harden as she sees the first of the shackled prisoners: a semi-conscious Ash. She flushes with anger and races up to him. She spits and kicks at him as he's dragged along. SHEILA Foul thing! A pox on your throat! Thou art a Murderer! A black Murderer! 80 VILLAGE WOMEN 80 restrain her. SHEILA cries as the Village Women attempt to soothe her. VILLAGE WOMAN #1 May you be consoled by their suffering in the pit. 81 THE PROCESSION, ASH AND THE FOUR OTHER PRISONERS 81 halt. Iron keys rattle. The shackles are unlocked. Ash and the prisoners rub their reddened wrists. They are pushed at swordpoint towards a circular iron grate that sits atop the ground. This is THE PIT. 82 ASH 82 looks to the jeering villagers that surround the pit, wondering what they have in store for him. 83 SHEILA 83 stares at him in hatred. 84 THE PRISONER NEXT TO ASH 84 eyes Ash curiously. This is Duke Henry the Red. DUKE HENRY You sir, are not one of my vassals. Who are you? ASH Who wants to know? DUKE HENRY I am Henry the Red. Duke of Shale.
